The Burning Desires and the Burnouts

Through a series of technological revolutions and discoveries, today, science has brought about a sea change into the quality of life we are living. With a lot of success and development, it sure seems logical to believe that mankind has emerged victorious. In reality, however, underlying this euphoria lays an incessant quest for peace and happiness. Instead of being peaceful, the neo-diseases like tension, depression, anxiety etc. have gripped us. The yearning for more and more of material pleasures appears rampant. At these costs, the modern development then seems ludicrous.
We think we are consuming the objects of desire, but do not realize that we are being consumed in turn. Excessive work load and pressure to deliver within a time frame lead to immense pressure on hormones. Any odd change that a body suffers be it the change in time schedule, prolonged sessions at your work place or home, at any educational or business institutions, the body does not want to change. This ‘do not want to change’ tendency by the body is termed homeostasis by Dr. Christian Bernard. However, to respond to the outer change in one’s life style, the body secretes hormones, the hormones which in turn trigger enzymes which directly affects the organs. For instance, the eye organ captures the world image and sends it to the brain and works on the principle of light sensitivity. So if the eye is exploited more to continue watching the computer screen etc, leads to forced use of eye lenses beyond the acceptable limit, which indirectly affects the brain. Prolonged hormonal activity leads to more exploitation of organs, which causes stress, anxiety, depression also called psycho-syndrome which are often incurable. These syndromes lead to suicidal tendencies, take its toll on marriage, relationships, affect productivity and work, induce fear from crowd etc. We get less sleep which then becomes one of the major issues in our life. To counter act these syndrome disorders, the affected people take help of medicine, but since the illness is not due to foreign interferences like bacteria or virus, but self-generated, the medicine becomes ineffective. Medicines do not work because the medical science does not have medicine for psycho-syndrome cases (PSC). To cure PSC, the doctors provide symptomatic medicines.
So how can we solve these persistent problems? How can we get relief from these disorders? For this it is important to understand why it got in at the first place. Let us analyse the root cause of the problem.
We have many ambitions to fulfil. There is absolutely no harm in yearning for them. However to fulfil all these ambitions, we need to be immensely focused and sharp. But most of us are not that focused. This means we will have more backlogs at work place which will lead to increased stress and tension. The second reason is that we do not take into consideration what our potentials are, and how we are designed to work and for how long. We have not understood this problem.
So how does meditation help? Meditation helps in two ways. First, it helps to conserve and reduces the distractions. We remain focused and concentrated at the work at hand. Second, meditation provides the awareness of how our body is designed to work and for how long. When the organs are not exploited by excessive secretion of enzymes, the mood swings, e.g. being excessive happy or depressed, does not happen. Thus, by doing meditation, not only we remain progressive in life but also remain happy and content. Overall, we remain healthy and avoid taking drugs and addiction towards them. The problem of aging also remains checked. We play an important role in the society as our behaviour and personality becomes profoundly inspirational.
The very first stage of Vihangam Yoga helps in bringing about the transformation in our life, directly controlling the mind which in turn controls all of our sensory organs and the organs of actions. The continued practice of Vihangam Yoga meditation results in a significant decrease in the suicidal tendencies, removal of stress and various other disorders. One becomes mentally and spiritually stronger. With enhanced power to concentrate and focus, we become more productive without having to take help from pills. We become relaxed and become a better employee, a better parent and a better and respected citizen.
To spread the pious message of Vihangam Yoga to every part of the world, Vihangam Yoga organization conducts regular workshops and mediation session knowledge free of cost. These training sessions also include basic Prānāyām and Yogasanas, taught by trained instructors. To make our life stress-free and become a successful person, we need to adapt to this ancient Rishi-Vidya or Brahm Vidya, the knowledge to know the self (the soul) and the omnipresent Brahm or God. One must learn the technique of Vihangam Yoga meditation.
